This role is primarily engineering‑focused, responsible for building, configuring, and maintaining cloud security technologies at scale. Architecture responsibilities are an important extension of the role, supporting secure design patterns, standards, and long‑term improvements, but the core expectation is strong technical execution and day‑to‑day engineering ownership. The ideal candidate combines deep cloud and traditional security expertise with the ability to collaborate effectively with corporate IT, engineering teams, and security leadership.
